"The biggest hardship I face is lack of sufficient food to feed my family members. I donot have enough land for farming , so each season I rent a small portion of land to cultivate, hence I harvest little or no crop produce to sustain my family's needs."

"Givedirectly transfers I intend to spend for buying cows. My household has been disparate to own cows for milk purposes but ever since I have failed to acheive that due to lack of money. This transfers will be a dream chance for my family to own cows."

"Receiving this money will mean I will sleep in a fully furnished house and my ability to pay school fees with ease will be enhanced. When my children complete their education, they will be able to sustain themselves and support me and my spouse during our old age."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is illness. I have Asthma and waist complications that have taken alot of money in paying medical bills."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my is bringing up my children as a single father. It has not been easy because I don't have enough money to cater for their basic needs like education, medical care, good meals and clothing."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of enough money to pay for my children's school fees. This at one point saw me sell the few animals I had in my home just to pay for school fees. But it was still not enough."

"When I receive this money, I will buy my own oxen and Ox-plough. I have been borrowing and hiring ploughing services from neighbours but with this blessing that GD is going to bring, all that hustle will come to an end. This will also help to save the money I have been spending on hiring ploughing services and also it will help generate income to my family because I will also hire it out. When some money remains, I will construct a veranda on my house and buy some household items like clothing, beddings, utensils and many more missing ones."

"Buying oxen and an ox-plough is the first thing I will do when I receive these transfers. This will make it easier for me to clear gardens and plant crops in time to match the ever changing seasons. I believe it will also improve on the quality and quantity of my yields therefore making my home better."

"In the next six months, I am hopeful that I will be having the fifth cow on our farm. With the plans that I have to increase milk production, I see myself rearing as much as five cows based on the size of the field. I am trying as much as possible to see that I produce enough milk to pay school fees for my kids who are now in primary school. I thank God for this far that He has brought us since we really started at a very low note."

"Right now I am able to get proper medication because I have enough money to pay for the medication unlike before when I had no capacity to seek medical attention due to lack of cash."
